Before you use the "Members Only" area you will have to register, and to do this you will need to be a member and have an e-mail known to the system. 

1. First click on the "Members" entry in the Home Page Menu (on the left of the page).
2. Then click on the "Register" tab on the "Members" page.
3. Enter your e-mail.
4. Click on "Forgotten Password".
5. The system will e-mail you a random password.
6. When you have read this, you should be able to register and you can then change your password to one of your choice.
7. If you encounter a problem at any stage, contact the Web master.  There is an option to do this on the 'register' screen.  It will send an e-mail to me and if you include your own address I will enter it and let you know.

This "Members Only Page" has 4 Tabs.

This page allows you to see messages entered by other members and enter your own message, for example "I am looking for a partner for next week".

Messages can be created quickly using one of the system generated messages or you can enter your own. You can also set how long a message should stay there for. 

The "List of Members" is similar to the "List of Members" shown in the "Information" section on the public site, except that you can choose different information to show, knowing that it is prevented from access by the general public. For example you might not mind other members knowing your phone number, while not wanting it to show in the public section.

The "Accounts" Tab is to allow users to change their details. You can log on and then check/change the information held by the website about you. This information remains in the "Members Only" section and is not accessible by the general public.

This Tab allows members who have registered and are logged on to access the Download feature to download information from the web site to their own computer. This is included in the "Members Only" because the information is actually sent by email, so that you have a copy in your inbox. And you can shift it from there to any directory of your choice.

At present, you can download results in 2 formats

• Results file - This can be used to retrieve Results files for use either as backup or on to a master copy of results for club use such as Master Points. You can select several results to be sent in one email. The results files are in a special format for use by the Scorebridge program, so you will not be able to read them directly. This feature is more for the Scorer.

• HTML - The results are made available as a single HTML file, which means that they can be opened and read just as on the website. This can be useful for members with Dial Up connection to the internet, but is not of so much interest to those with a broadband connection, where access to the Internet is permanent and does not interfere with the phone line. You can send the file to yourself and then review the information on your PC offline at leisure.
